The Space Between The Threads

I love spending time on the beach; even when the weather is grey and windy especially since that type of weather usually means that I will have the beach to myself. If all my posts haven't made it clear yet: I'm quite a loner and enjoy wandering around empty places (in truth most people make me nervous). With a book in hand and my mother's dog in tow, I don't really need anything else to pass an enjoyable afternoon...

While I have gotten more comfortable wearing all black than I used to be, those types of ensembles still make me feel more like a character in a film than anything else; when I add a floppy hat and an oversize ring things really start to get dramatic. I wasn't actually expecting this House of Harlow ring to be so large, but I can't say I really mind the size...perhaps it isn't an "every day" ring (since it gets in the way!), but it's very fun to wear. I'm rather tempted to write "pow!" on the leather burst as it reminds me so much of old comic strips. The outfit actually started with my new dress; the lace is so soft to the skin and the saucy back definitely sets it apart from other black lace dresses.

Wow! Awesome pics, Rebecca!The atmosphere and the feel to it is so peaceful but fun at the same time!You sure DO look like a character from a movie... :-)The ring looks so nice and goes pretty well with the whole look.And the hat... Absolutely gorgeous!

Sorry for this weird comment but I'd like to know.... you have similar proportions to mine, and I'm wondering what kind of... support you use with these backless dresses. I've totally opted out of the whole backless thing cuz I'm not really willing to do without a bra. Ya dig? Your thoughts are appreciated!

So I've been reading your blog for months now, but just had a moment when I discovered you are one of my very favorites. Your outfits lately have been amazing, and I adore your photos... you're so creative & dramatic, but still relate-able & sweet. Just thought I should let you know of my little "I adore this girl!" moment.
